Definitions

the invention relates to a plant and a method for introducing hops in a tank.
Hops are usually added to the wort in the wort kettle or at the latest in the whirlpool.
a large bag is filled with hops and hung in the vessel for some time. This method is common in English-speaking countries under the name "dry hopping".
dry hopping In order to avoid the introduction of harmful microorganisms with the bag or hops, it was proposed to boil the bag together with hops in the water and add to the brew of the wort or the green beer.
the invention is therefore based on the object to further develop a system and a method for introducing hops in a tank so that a simple hop application can also be done with closed fermentation and storage tanks.
hops outside the tank as hop pellets, hops extract, hop hops or press hops to a hop hopper.
the air can be expelled from the hop-filled container and replaced with inert gas such as CO 2 or N 2 .
the hops pass over the bottom of the drain into an area where it is mixed with beer or green beer and immediately flows on to a mixer.
the mixing components hops and young beer are brought into contact with each other and mixed intensively with each other.
the mixing components are supplied to the device metered at the inlet connection, intimately mixed with each other in the device, dispersed or homogenized and discharged through an outlet connection from the device.
the shearing action of the mixing device leads to a crushing of the hops and to a homogeneous mixing with the green beer. This will e.g. achieved an optimal resolution of pellets.
a simple, compact design is achieved in that the mixing device has a motor and arranged above the mixing device of the Hopvorlage matterer and below the mixer, the engine is.
the hops can thereby reach from the hop storage container into an area where it is mixed with the green beer, to be then intensively minced in the mixing device and mixed with the green beer.
a motor with a vertical shaft can thus drive the mixer without deflection.
the hop storage container has a conical bottom.
the hop hopper has a gas outlet in an upper area.
the mixer can also be used as a pump to promote the mixture of hops and young beer in a storage tank. Since the storage tank is usually under pressure, a delivery height of more than 10 m at the mixer makes sense.
a simple plant construction is achieved with a mixing device which has a stator and a rotor as a mixing tool.
the mixing tool is preferably provided with teeth and slots.
a preferred embodiment provides that the mixing device for defined crushing profiles is adjustable.
the method the object is achieved by a method for introducing hops in a tank in which hops is placed in a Hopvorvor capableer, from the hop hopper with inert gas, the air is expelled and the hops with beer or green beer is fed to a mixer.
the feed is carried out in such a way that no beer or green beer gets into the hop container.
This can be achieved by a suitable selection of the pressures of the supplied media, wherein in particular the volume flow of the supply of the green beer should be controlled.
the beer or green beer can be fed to the hop addition and the blending of the filtration. It is advantageous if the beer or green beer is fed together with the hop to a tank, since then in the tank, the hops can settle and optionally can be discharged with the yeast.
Annex 1 consists essentially of the Hopvorvor actuallyer 2 and the mixing device 3.
the Hopvorvor actuallyer 2 has a lid 4, a frame 5 and a conical outlet 6.
the cover 4 is airtight lockable and in the upper region of the frame 5, a cleaning device 7 is provided , which is supplied as a CIP spray head via the valve 8 with cleaning fluid.
the mixing device 3 Under this drain valve, and thus under the conical bottom 6 is the mixing device 3, which has a supply line 12 for the hop and a supply line 13 for young beer from the storage tank 14 on the upstream inlet side 11. On the discharge side 15, a derivative 16 is provided for the hop-young beer mixture.
the drain side 16 is connected via a valve 17 and a hose 18 to the tank 14.
a motor 19 which provides for the drive of the mixing device and is designed as a three-phase motor.
the normal operating point of the three-phase motor and the mixer is about 3,000 min -1 . This corresponds to 50/60 Hz.
a control box 20 is provided for the power supply.
Switch box 20, motor 19, mixing device 3 and hop hopper 2 are arranged on a carriage 21 having wheels 22 and thus can be moved in the storage cellar to different tanks.
the storage tank 14 has a cleaning device 25.
the green beer is removed via a valve 26 or 28, the green beer-hop mixture is supplied via the valve 27 or 26 or 28 and the stored beer is fed through the valve 26 or 28 taken from the tank 14.
the mixer 3 has a stator 29 which is inserted as an insert plate in a housing 30. Relative to this stator, a rotor 31 moves with the mixing tool 32.
This mixing tool 32 has teeth and slots which cooperate with corresponding recesses 33 in the stator 29.
the mixing device 3 can be set by exchanging the stator for defined comminution profiles.
the inlet 34 is at the top, the outlet 35 is at the side and from the motor 19 below it comes the shaft 36, which drives the rotor 31 with the mixing tool 32.
the lid When using the hop storage container 2, the lid is first opened to hops, preferably in the form of pellets, in the To give hop original container 2. Subsequently, the lid 4 is sealed airtight and via the inert gas 9, the hop container 2 is filled with CO 2 starting from the cone. The heavier CO 2 displaces the existing in the Hopvorlage matterser 2 air leaving the Hopvorvor capableer 2 through the gas outlet 37.
the outlet valve 10 is opened, so that the hops from the Hopvorvor constituer 2 flows to the mixing device 3. There, the hops are crushed with the mixing tool 32 and mixed with the green beer. He then leaves the mixer 35 via the outlet 35 to be returned to the tank 14.
